Abstract:

     We have previously applied Artificial Visual Systems (AVS) to image de-mixing, image 
compression combined with wavelet transforms, RGB-color vision, de-mix Super-Mother 
wavelet in terms of independent mother wavelets, as well as Continuous Speech Segmentation 
of phoneme-hyphenation. In this paper, after we have reviewed Independent Component 
Analysis (ICA) and Blind Source Separation (BSS) from the AVS viewpoint, we explore an 
intelligent pair of cameras in a time-multiplex fashion the possible condition to de-mix more 
than two scenes.  During the first look, the camera system has a plenty of time to have two
cameras pointed, triangulated, and focused perfectly on the girl_G standing in the shadow of
a tree_T hidden with birds_B. ?Suddenly the birds begin to sing. By design, the camera system 
has two independent pointing & focusing & memory capability to quickly response to the birds? 
song direction.  Therefore, only one of the dominate camera can point away from the girl_G and 
focus at the birds hidden in the tree at the second look. By design, the not-yet-in-focus and 
not-yet-correctly-pointed camera has replenished its blurred input with the previous de-mixed 
background image (T+B). Together, the second look can de-mix the bird_B from the Tree_T.  
We consider channel communication application that we can efficiently mix four images using 
matrices [A0] and [A1] to send through two channels.
